Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, has criticized another referee for failing to award his side a penalty in the goalless draw with Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday.
Mourinho looking confused as the match came to a close
Mourinho has already been fined by the English FA for insulting a referee, and responded by claiming the FA had punished him for being blunt while Arsene Wenger was not punished for calling Mike Dean ‘weak and naive’.
Feeling his side was denied a penalty after Cesc Fabregas was challenged in the area by Serhiy Rybalka, Mourinho used Wenger’s words.

He said: “The referee was weak and naive with the penalty. I cannot understand what the referee behind the goal does, because he doesn’t make a clear decision too.”
Mourinho said of the match: “I see progress. We hit . twice, and had a good solid defensive performance against dangerous team. To lose this game would have been bad for us.”
Meanwhile, the former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamman believes Jose Mourinho is begging for the sack and has lost the dressing room at Chelsea.
He told Talk Sport: “Some of the stuff he [Mourinho] is coming out with at the moment and over recent weeks is not far from a meltdown. It’s John Carver-esque.
“I don’t know what’s going on with the owner and what the circumstances are, but to me at times it looks like he’s begging for the sack.
“The thing that worries me about Chelsea is that he seems to be falling out with all the players. If you want to get a reaction from a player and you put him on the bench like he did with [Eden] Hazard the other day, it’s not a problem. But you don’t bring him on in the 89th minute to humiliate him and embarrass him even further.

He continued: “And he’s done it with most of the players. [Branislav] Ivanovic has been labelled as a player who hasn’t performed this season, which may be true, but if you do it with one or two players to get a reaction that’s fair enough, but I think he has done it to most of them now.
“If I look into the Chelsea dressing room now, do I think the majority of players would like to see the back of him? Yes, I think they would. He’s upset everybody for no reason.”
Chelsea are third in Group G with four points, one behind second-placed Kiev. Porto are on on top, after defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv.
